- The church of the establishment has a graceful spire, one hundred and ninety-five feet high; the huge gilt cross at the summit was a gift from the ladies of Carlow. The Catholic cathedral is a noble edifice, with an octagonal tower and lantern one hundred and fifty feet high; it is the later English style, with chapels in the transcript, and the interior is enriched by a statue of Doctor Doyle, from the chisel of Hogan., which is greatly admired.
